[Advertisement] Whereas Numbers of the Dutch People in this Province, especially of the New Comers, are thro’ mere Poverty unable to furnish themselves with Bibles in their own Language, at the advanc’d Price those which are brought from Germany are usually sold at here: Therefore Christopher Sauer, of Germantown, proposes to print a High Dutch Bible in large Quarto, and in a Character that may be easily read even by old Eyes. And several well-meaning People having promised to contribute something towards the Encouragement of the Work in general, that the Books may be afforded cheaper to real poor Persons whether Servants or others; Notice is hereby given, that the said Work (God willing) will be begun, about the End of April next; and that some Judgment may be made of the Quantity necessary to be printed, all Persons who are enclined to encourage the Work, or to have one or more of the said Bibles, may subscribe before that Time with the Abovesaid Christopher Sauer, in Germantown, or with Benjamin Franklin, in Philadelphia. 2s. and 6d. is to be paid down towards each Bible (for which Receipts will be given) and the Remainder on Delivery of the Books, which, ’tis expected, will be in about a Twelvemonth. If no Charitable Contributions towards it are received, the Price of each Bible will not exceed 14 Shillings, and it shall be as much less as those Contributions will enable the Printer to afford; of which Contributions a fair Account shall be given the Publick.
